CNC milling
4- and 5-axis milling for parts that have to fit
Complex geometries, free-form surfaces and tight tolerances in one set-up. Two 5-axis machining centres and a vertical centre with 4th axis for plate and round parts.
What we mill
Single parts, prototypes and series in steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, titanium and engineering plastics. 5-axis simultaneous machining on Hermle and Haas finishes workpieces with angled faces, undercuts and free-form surfaces in one set-up. That avoids re-clamping, keeps positional tolerances and shortens lead time.
4-axis milling is done on the DMG MORI M2 with rotary axis and tailstock: shafts, axles and long parts are machined all round between chuck and tailstock, with hole patterns, slots and faces on all sides in one set-up.
Programming is done on two TopSolid CAD/CAM seats directly from your 3D model. A drawing with tolerances and surface specifications is enough; if there is no 3D model, we create it.
Working envelope
Hermle C 20 U with 600 × 450 × 450 mm, Haas UMC-750SS with 762 × 508 × 508 mm travel. In 5-axis we machine parts up to 750 × 500 mm; for tilted parts the interference circle decides. Larger plate parts, fixtures and round parts are machined in 3 and 4 axes on the DMG MORI M2.
Quality
First-off parts and samples are measured on the Wenzel SF 55 coordinate measuring machine. On request we deliver a measurement report for every item.
Typical parts
- Housings and base plates with fits
- Contoured parts in 5-axis simultaneous
- Shafts and round parts machined all round with the 4th axis
- Mould inserts and electrodes for toolmaking
- Fixture parts with hole patterns and locating faces
- Spare parts for machines and plants
